George Mummert, 1605 Radcliffe Drive, spoke out Saturday against paying federal taxes.
Local man won't pay federal income taxes
By Betsy Krause
Mlssourian staff writer
For most people, income taxes are just a yearly
annoyance. To George Mummert, 1605 Radcliffe
Drive, they are a test of ethics.
Mummert, 33, is a conscientious objector twice
over. He not only declined to register 15 years
ago, but for the past three years he has withheld
bis federal income taxes because he objects to
their use for military purposes.
" I'm to the point where i have to say no," he
told a small group during a Saturday slide presen-tation
at the Presbyterian Student Center, 100 Hitt
St.
" I cannot, in good conscience, see my money go
towards the building up of weapons," says the
theologian who, although he is not officially or-dained,
says he sees himself as a minister. Mum-mert
will receive a master's degree of divinity in
May from St. Paul's School of Theology in Kansas
City. He is currently working on his doctoral phi-losophy
dissertation at the University.
Mummert is part of a national drive for the
World Peace Tax Fund. Members of the WPTF
argues that individuals with strong religious or
ethical beliefs against participation in war should
be granted legal taxpaying alternatives.
" I'm not against paying taxes, when they go to-ward
humanitarian needs," he adds.
Mummert's slides are supplied by the WPTF's
national council. The slides and the council's liter-ature
say that 56 percent of every tax dollar is
spent for military purposes. Most economists
Refuses to support military
agree that arms spending is the most inflationary
of government expenditures.
For every $ 1 billion spent on the military, the
slides say, 76,000 jobs are created. When an equal
amount is spent on education, 187,000 jobs are cre-ated,
Mummert says.
" It makes no sense for me not to have to go to
war, yet have others kill, and weapons built, in
my name," Mummert says.
Tax resistance can have serious consequences.
On Jan. 5, Mummert received a certified letter
from the IRS which threatened to seize his prop-erty
and collect from his bank accounts.
Legally the government could take action Mon-day,
but Mummert says there isn't much money
in his bank account His car is in the bank's name
and he doesn't own any property.
His refusal to pay taxes on ethical grounds
could eventually lead to his arrest.
But Mummert is steadfast in his commitment.
" I made my decision and if it leads to that ( an ar-rest)
then so be it," he says. " There are times
when you have to make a stand on conscience and
let whatever happens, happen."
Mummert does not feel he will end up behind
bars because of the time it takes for a court case
to evolve.
" I'm hoping that in two years the World Peace
Tax Fund will have passed," he says optimistical-ly.
" I'll be glad to pay back my tax dollars when it
does."
The WPTF bill was introduced to Congress in
1972 and now has more than 38 sponsors.
If the bill passes, the military portion of Mum-mert's
income taxes would be diverted into a gov-ernment
trust fund supporting peace- relate- d pro-jects.
Although there are other conscientious objec-tor's
who refuse to pay any income taxes, some
take less extreme measures to protest against
military spending.
Some people withhold $ 1 per month of their tax
money as a symbolic act, says Susan Morse of
1616 University Ave.
" And one thing you can do that is less risky is to
request a refund and say you are paying under
protest," she says.
Ms. Morse, who also calls herself a conscien-tious
objector, has requested refunds for the past
five years. She has never received one.
This year, however, she withheld payment on
her income taxes as well and has been notified by
the IRS.
To tax resisters such as Mummert and Morse,
the risk they are taking rekeves their consciences.
They are no longer contributing to the build up of
weapons capable of destroying the earth.
This does not necessarily relieve their pessi-mism
about the chances that such weapons will be
used.
" If the weapons are ever used, they ( the tax-payers)
have to take responsibility."

Saturday morning.
Roy Burke was sleeping in his
truck parked just off Route AA on a
railroad crossing in Callaway Coun-ty
when a westbound train struck the
vehicle headon, according to Mis-souri
State Highway Patrol reports.
The collision, which totaled the
truck, gave Burke a head laceration
and possibly broken vertabrae, a
health center spokeswoman said Sat-urday
night.
No one else was injured in the col-lision,
a patrol spokesman said.
Columbia man in wreck
A Columbia man was examined

forced off the road early Saturday
morning.
Dell Boyles. of 14 Highway 63. told
Missouri State Highway Patrol offi-cers
he was driving west on Route F,
three miles west of Route KK in Cal-laway

vehicle crossed the center line forc-ing
him to swerve off the road just
after midnight, totaling his car and
leaving him with minor pain in his
right leg.
Boyles was unable to provide offi-cers
with any information about the
other car, a patrol spokesman said
Reward money needed
CrimeStoppers of Greater Colum-bia,
fearful it may have to curtail
services if more citizen donations
aren't forthcoming, is planning a
fund- raisin- g drive for late spring.
The program, which relies on citi-zen
participation and private dona-tions
to help the Police Department
solve crimes, is on sound financial
ground now. But one more $ 1,000 re-ward
for a wanted suspect could
squeeze its coffers. Chairman
Charles Wilson said.
CrimeStoppers operates with a
budget of $ 4,300 to $ 6,000, and all
funding comes from private dona-tions.
" Things are getting critical,"
Wilson said. " If donations don't pick
up down the road, we could be in
trouble. It's something we're trying
to stop before it occurs."
CrimeStoppers has paid about $ 1,- 6- 00
in rewards to date, and has
helped to solve 35 local crimes.
Two men arraigned in
St. Louis kidnappings
ST. LOUIS ( UPI) Two men
were arraigned Saturday in the ab-duction
of a St. Louis County couple
whose bodies were later found in a
vacant lot in East St. Louis, III.
Authorities said Raphael Clark, 21,
of Jennings, Mo., and Walter Har-vey,
20, of Moline Acres, HI., were
arraigned before U. S. Magistrate
David Noce. Bond was set at $ 200,000
each and a preliminary hearing for
both suspects was set for Jan. 25.
Clark and Harvey, who were ar-rested
separately late Friday, were
charged with kidnapping, violations
of the Mann Act and interstate trans-portation
of a stolen motor vehicle,
an FBI spokesman said.
The Mann Act makes transporting
a woman across state lines for im-moral
purposes a federal offense. If
convicted of all three charges, the
suspects could be sentenced to life in
prison.
The suspects are charged with ab-ducting
Gary Decker and his wife.
Donna, from a shopping center near
the couple's suburban Spanish Lake,
Mo., home Dec. 14 while the couple
was Christmas shopping. The next
morning, the bodies of Decker, 28,

The couple's 3- year-
- old son was
staying with his grandparents when
his parents were abducted, authori-ties
said.
Authorities said Decker was shot
once m the left side. His wife was
sexually molested and shot four
times m the face.

Columbia United Way said it has
exceeded its record fund raising goal
of $ 640,000 for 1982 by at least $ 350.
Tom Atkins, chairman of the cam-paign,
said he expects the agency to
collect even more when the final do-nations
are counted. Last year the
group's goal was $ 575,000, and it
raised $ 591,000 Funds are allocated
to Columbia's 26 United Way agen-cies.
Present economic conditions, At-kins
said, actually contributed to the
outpouring of donations. " People re-alize
that when you have a down
economy, people's needs are great-er,"
Atkins said. " Columbia has a lot
to be proud of."

serious but stable condition at St.
Mary's Health Center in Jefferson
City after being struck head- o- n by a
train while sleeping in his truck ear-ly
Saturday morning.

Reward money needed
CrimeStoppers of Greater Colum-bia,
fearful it may have to curtail
services if more citizen donations
aren't forthcoming, is planning a
fund- raisin- g drive for late spring.
The program, which relies on citi-zen
participation and private dona-tions
to help the Police Department
solve crimes, is on sound financial
ground now. But one more $ 1,000 re-ward
for a wanted suspect could
squeeze its coffers. Chairman
Charles Wilson said.
CrimeStoppers operates with a
budget of $ 4,300 to $ 6,000, and all
funding comes from private dona-tions.
" Things are getting critical,"
Wilson said. " If donations don't pick
up down the road, we could be in
trouble. It's something we're trying
to stop before it occurs."
CrimeStoppers has paid about $ 1,- 6- 00
in rewards to date, and has
helped to solve 35 local crimes.
Two men arraigned in
St. Louis kidnappings
ST. LOUIS ( UPI) Two men
were arraigned Saturday in the ab-duction
of a St. Louis County couple
whose bodies were later found in a
vacant lot in East St. Louis, III.
Authorities said Raphael Clark, 21,
of Jennings, Mo., and Walter Har-vey,
20, of Moline Acres, HI., were
arraigned before U. S. Magistrate
David Noce. Bond was set at $ 200,000
each and a preliminary hearing for
both suspects was set for Jan. 25.
Clark and Harvey, who were ar-rested
separately late Friday, were
charged with kidnapping, violations
of the Mann Act and interstate trans-portation
of a stolen motor vehicle,
an FBI spokesman said.
The Mann Act makes transporting
a woman across state lines for im-moral
purposes a federal offense. If
convicted of all three charges, the
suspects could be sentenced to life in
prison.
The suspects are charged with ab-ducting
Gary Decker and his wife.
Donna, from a shopping center near
the couple's suburban Spanish Lake,
Mo., home Dec. 14 while the couple
was Christmas shopping. The next
morning, the bodies of Decker, 28,
and his 27- year-- old wife were found.
The couple's 3- year-
- old son was
staying with his grandparents when
his parents were abducted, authori-ties
said.
Authorities said Decker was shot
once m the left side. His wife was
sexually molested and shot four
times m the face.
Murder charges have not been
filed in the case.
